Behavioral issues

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Otter is a good boy, he was a gift when I lost my German Shepherd (Max). I was not prepared to take on a puppy. When first got he had cocidia and that’s when I realized how scared and skittish he was at just 7 weeks. I have worked very hard to get him more confident and comfortable in himself, but he needs someone who is willing to help even further. Otter needs more socialization, patience, and preferably someone that is experienced with the breed. This breed needs a lot of socialization, a job, and someone that can work with EXTREME fearfulness. He is very terrified of people, he’s terrified of new dogs, and some cats. Otter is great with my pets, but he is a 7 month old dog who is scared. I do not know if he’s been abused he has not been in my home but will scream and cower at any tone change of fast movement. This is not an easy dog to work with. He will be neutered and chipped before he leaves my house his appointment is Jan. 14th! Reach out if you have any questions or interest
